I have collected many obituaries of genealogical interest over the past twenty years.I will be posting them on this blog as time allows. The majority of these obituaries are from early Arkansas Baptist newspapers and have been transcribed as written.

W. J. Allison

Son of Cornelius Allison, died December 26, 1895, at the age of 26 years. He professed religion, joined the Baptist church and was baptized by Elder Jackson, of Randolph county, and lived a devoted Christian till his death. He was married to Sister Lucy Eskridge, who was an affectionate, ernest worker with him in the cause of Christ. While we all miss him here on earth, he is happy in his heavenly home, for he loved God and died in the triumphs of faith. We tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved wife. May the Lord bless, comfort and sustain her.
S. W. Abernathy, Tuckerman, Ark.
